superlongevity 3

to me the micro thing made the house thing interesting rather than reverse. I like the cold sound of techno that is somehow warmed by the occassional forays into emotion that micohouse does. Although at times some of the perlon stuff almost seems like dj tools (which i am not fond of) rather than proper techno

Lately almost all of the "micro"-house I've clicked with has been of the rougher and tougher variety - see the second half of that Sami Koivikko mix or this excellent mix (the first one) which intersperses microhouse with marvellous steroid electro and techno.

am I alone in almost always liking Nicolai's stuff more than anything else on Perlon

no

i just got superlongevity 1 off discogs and am enjoying it A LOT.

Lol I don’t know what I was on about with regard to “1 of Those Days” above - awesome track.

I love this Nikolai track, don’t remember how I came across it:

microhouse aged better than I expected, all this stuff still sounds great

Nikolai in '88

Pile, from Superlongevity 6. One of the less obvious ones, I didn't really notice it until recently.

i'm listening to superlongevities 3, 4, and 5. they are mostly great. the end.

it seemed to me that perlon had some kind of taint to it when i started getting into dance music around 2013 and i've been very ignorant of minimal up until now but wow this stuff is awesome.

great lists, inspiring me to go through my Perlon records too. Off the top of my head a few more:

Some STL ones:
Portside Waves
Getting Deeper
That MNML Track

Ricardo Villalobos - Two Kids Set Off
Matt John - Rising Scope

Everything from International Anything is both bonkers and amazing - Echo Of The Year (B-side to Like This Girl) is the best!

wow, haven't thought of matt john in sooo long. his track 'e low' was a favorite

Everything from International Anything is both bonkers and amazing - Echo Of The Year (B-side to Like This Girl) is the best!

i meant to put that down as the whole EP. hoping for more of their music.

When I finished my doctorate a few years ago, one off my gifts to myself was to fill in the gaps of my Perlon collection, including every release from their first ten years (though I’m still missing Morane the beach. That collection is among my most prized possessions - perlon has been such a guiding light for me since I started listened to house. Even if I’m not always excited by their more recent stuff, I’ve always felt something special about Perlon

1. artists i had no idea released on perlon: soulphiction, stl, shackleton
2. a lot of these are slower than i thought they would be, which is good
3. tbh jaded euro monologues are a no go for me, looking for soul vox and good times
4. i forgot about the end of "lockdown party" lol -_-

stl is so prolific, I could use an opx just for him

Notwithstanding his being singled out for playing that dubious saudi arabian festival, the fact there are now audio samples and a release for the ~new melchior productions ltd~ album has me going bananas.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I actually anticipated an album release, but in the world of my niche tastes and formative experiences, release news doesn’t get bigger than this.
